Questions

How big is the Distortion pedal PCB?

It measures 30 × 37 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Distortion pedal use?

75 parts, built around the TL081HID, SD0805S020S1R0 and USB4125-GF-A-0190. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Distortion pedal KiCad files?

From the lufixSch/effect-pedals repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is distortion/pcb/distortion-pedal.kicad_pcb and its schematic distortion/pcb/distortion-pedal.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Distortion pedal design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
